Documenting my Trials and Tribulations with Beauty Products
Since my last post, [The Ordinary Haul] Focus: Dry & Dehydrated, Acne-Prone, Texture, Prevent & Prolong, I have used day and night, non-stop, the following Ordinary products for one month: Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Lactic Acid 10% + HA 2% Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% I know many people have already…
Before my vacation to Cuba I purchased the Supergoop! Barre to Bar Beauty Set at a Sephora in the US. I got it on a whim because I know this brand isn’t sold in Sephora Canada, and I also wanted to try something new on my trip! About the Brand & Owner Supergoop! founder Holly…
Here are some products and items that stood out to me the past couple of months. Most of them I have used consistently since purchase, so it is only appropriate that I dedicate a blog post to them! Skincare Acure Aromatherapeutic Moroccan Argan Oil (Rose)* I have an unhealthy obsession with this! It smells so. Damn.…
I just received a lovely blogger box from M Squared Brands, featuring a variety of natural products with different purposes (skincare, body, oral health). I’m really excited to share what I got with you, and I’ve already been trying out a few of the products already! Note: Although the products were sent to me, it…
I am somewhat late on the bandwagon. I cannot, and I repeat, CANNOT believe I wasn’t paying attention to this brand until now! If you still don’t know, the Ordinary is a skincare brand under the umbrella company Deciem. It is a Canadian brand that’s pretty much no nonsense: you get what you need with…
Another year, and another collection of empties! I’m in the process of decluttering my makeup collection, and I found it also an appropriate time to dig into my empties bag. I must get everything a beauty junkie possibly can out of the way! This empties post has quite a bit of random stuff, nonetheless hope you…
I discovered peeling gels while delving into the realm of Asian Beauty. They are supposed to be the gentlest alternative to exfoliating. The idea is while lightly massaging the peeling gel around your skin, all the little bits pilling up is supposed to be dead skin cells. I am a skeptic about this type of…
In my previous post Winter Skincare Routine for Dry and Acne Prone Skin I mentioned that sheet masks were Asia’s gift to us. I still and have always held by this statement since I tried sheet masks way back when I first started getting into Korean skincare. If you don’t know, sheet masks are, well, sheets, on…
I’m told it’s my ripe bold age of 26 that has changed my skin. I used to be the oiliest gal around, almost never using moisturizer and packing on the powder like a mad woman. Now I am dry, dry, dry. And to top it off, I still break out like I did when I…
Hey lovelies, Back when I was in Seoul at the end of September, I picked up 23 Years Old Zincnol and Badecasil while perusing Olive Young once or twice (or a few times). What prompted me to pick up these products were: I needed a heavy moisturizer for the fall month that is compatible with…
